//  CUCompositeNode.h
//  Cornell University Game Library (CUGL)
//
//  This module provides support for a composite behavior node. It is used
//  to select from one or more children, according to priority.
//
//  BehaviorNode objects are managed by BehaviorManager, and should never
//  be allocated directly.  Instead, you create a behavior node definition
//  and pass it to a factor method in BehaviorManager.
//
//  EXPERIMENTAL: This module is experimental.  The API may change significantly
//  in future CUGL releases.
